Today I wanted to share with you a “LetGodLoveYou” Prayer written by my sweet and amazing friend Sheila Mangum.
“Lord, you are GREAT and most worthy to be praised. (Psalm 145:3) There is NONE like You. (Jeremiah 10:6) You are the God who sees. (Genesis 16:13) You see Your daughter in desperate need of Your love and attention. (Psalm 121:1-8) Your heart yearns for her wholeness. (John 5:5-7) Your desire is for her heart to explode with Your love. Your love is safe for her. It will not wound. (Psalm 147:3)
Your love heals and delivers. It will NOT leave. (Deuteronomy 31:8) Father, stoop down this minute and give Your daughter the attention she needs today. (Psalm 18:35) She feels alone. She feels weak. Therefore, fill her days with laughter, love, and beauty. (Proverbs 17:22) Strengthen her spirit to receive Your healing love. Even if she feels like running from you, chase her down. Prove to Your daughter You are faithful no matter what! (2 Timothy 2:13)
Give her encouragement when she expects it the least. (1 John 4:19) Give her mercy when she feels the least to deserve it. (Ephesians 2:4) Give her whispers of love into her heart. (Psalm 73:26) Let her taste and see that You are good. She is fortunate because YOU are Faithful and True! (Revelation 19:11) “O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the woman who trusts and takes refuge in Him.” Psalm 34:8 (AMP) Father, wipe her tears today and love her BIG. (Revelation 21:4)
Friend, let’s Let God Love US as we RETURN TO OUR FIRST LOVE today. (Revelation 2:4) In the Mighty Name of Jesus we have prayed. Amen and Amen!

God is so good. I will rest in Him and trust in His will for my life.
When life gets busy and I take my eyes off Him is when those feelings of insecurity creep and take hold. I need to remember to spend time with Him, keep my focus on Him and let God love me.
What a beautiful reminder to stop striving on my own and to be still and Know that He is God and in control. This a beautiful prayer to remember everyday!
Thank you for sharing this prayer. It reminds me to be patient and let God do the rest! I would love to win a prayer journal!
I love that the prayer says that God’s love will not leave. It’s so easy to rely on people and then get hurt when they leave, but an excellent reminder that God’s love won’t leave us.
Thank you Renee for sharing prayers from scripture. Sheila’s prayer touched my heart. I pray every morning, every evening & touch base with God thru-out my day (trying to be like Brother Lawrence & “Practicing the Presence of God” in all I do) – practicing spiritual principles in all my affairs (practice is the key word). I try to journal but have never kept a prayer journal so it would be nice to have a special journal from you that had been played over by you. Again, thank you for your inspirational words.
In Gratitude,
Janet

You girls are a wonderful inspiration! Thanks for the great give aways this month! What generous hearts you all have.
I am fairly new at this and my thoughts might not be as put together as others, but Sheila’s prayer spoke to me because I frequently feel like I am not good enough for God’s love. I have done things in my life that still to this day I think about and they make my heart hurt. Even though I have asked for forgiveness time and time again I still feel that I don’t deserve it. I struggle daily with certain decisions that I have made that haunts me. I had an abortion when I was 16 and did it under pressure. I feel that if I had just stood my ground and would not have been weak I would not have killed an innocent being. I have four children now but have within the last 7 months have had 2 miscarriages and I am struggling with the thought of that’s what I get for killing my baby 20 years ago. Sometimes I have those “Unglued” moments with my kids and feel that I am the worst mom and that “God is so disappointed in me.” I will be printing this prayer and keeping it at arms length. Thank you for sharing that prayer.
This is a prayer that has struck me right in my heart….I have had some very important decisions to make lately. I finally was confronted by a super friend last night- Joyce are you trying to do everything your friends suggest? Are you trying to please them? And, as I thought about it…she was very right. I need to make my decisions for myself for me and the glory of my awesome GOD
I would love to have the journal, and I easily, easily identified with Sheila’s prayer.
Sometimes I pray things from my heart- and then I feel good. It is when I get caught up pleasing my so-called friends that I get my self into difficulty.
I have a lot to learn and can use resources to help me…..I would be delighted to receive this book. May God bless you. Joyce
this prayer spoke into my need! -give her the attention she needs – she feels alone and weak…
I really loved how she put so many Scriptures in her pray and how to put it towards life today. I have always found praying scripture with my name in it as difficult so this pray is so refreshing for me! Would love to have the pray journal to keep track of my family prayers, my Bible fellowship prayer request and my prayer request! I have tried before with just loose paper or with emails but feel a journal would be more cohesive and organized (which I love to be typically) to allow me to be a better prayer warrior ! Thanks for this opportunity!

What a most beautiful prayer to read…I am going to share with so many others. I have been struggling to be “just so” that I can be “just everyones…” I am God’s and that is all that matters. If I give it to him then I will be the woman of God I can be. A prayer journal would be a wonderful way to put what I think into words and have the thoughts down. Thank you for the opportunity to read, share and enjoy your post. May the Lord continue to bless you in amazing ways.
Smiles & Blessings,
Robin
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful prayer. I have a friend who needs to hear that – I shall give it to her and also pray it for her. Would love to win a prayer journal. I have been considering encouraging people in my church to start a prayer journal (I’m discipleship deacon and part of my role is to encourage individual and corporate prayer). God seems to have laid this on my heart to do and I have been asking him for confirmations – this prayer and your prayer journal competition seem to be another confirmation that God wants me to do this. Thank you 🙂
After 6.5 long years of watching my then, 21 year old daughter, recover from a ruptured brain aneurysm…I’ve also had to learn to let go, let God and rest in His abundant blessings, though painful many days yet. 7 years ago, while she suffered not only a sub arachnoid hemorrhage bleed in the brain, she also had a subsequent stroke during her coiling surgery. All this took place just less than one week after completing her sophomore year of her college years. But life changed in that instant that I received that call…”come quickly…we’re not sure what is going on…4 hours later…now we realize she has a horrible condition called a ruptured brain aneurysm and she has less than 24 hours or she’ll rebleed and die…which major hospital would you like us to call to see who has available space…we can’t guarantee anything as to what she’ll be like after the surgery….she has short-term memory loss and lost her speech but should get better with therapy…she won’t ever be able to go to college again….then you don’t serve the same God that we do!….she went to college to finish…she’s not who she was, but we have her…she’s different, not the same daughter you used to have…His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He watches me…focus on giants and you stumble, focus on God, and your giants tumble.” So many thoughts, fears, doubts and unknowns. Now, 6.5 years later, we have her and she’s come so far. Not the same daughter we used to have but WE HAVE HER, and we are grateful Lord for using her to teach us to trust you completely, even when we cannot see, when we cannot hear, nor understand. Today, I want to continue to just rest at your feet, to listen to the call you give me, her, to serve you in ways that glorify YOU, Lord. I need to rest. This mama needs to rest…to write my heart to you though you already know it…to wait on you. Thank you, Lord. I’m waiting…resting….ahhhhh…sweet rest. There IS joy in this crazy journey of life! There’s no one’s cross I’d rather bear….no ones.
Sheila,
This is such a beautiful prayer. I meet with a wonderful group of women to pray for one another. I plan on taking your prayer to our next meeting to provide encouragement for all of those great women. The prayer filled my heart with hope and served as an anchor for my soul. What a beautiful reminder of God’s love for us. Thank you!
The prayer Sheila prayed is me too! My prayers are growing and me with it. I’d love to win! Thank you for your ministry!
This prayer spoke to the center of my heart and what God has been working on in me. TRUST. It is hard for me to “trust” without being in “control.” But this kind of trust is not the real thing. God is trying to show me that only in letting go and surrendering all to Him, can He give me back the Life and Love He intends for me and for my family. He has been very patient with me as I am learning this lesson step by step. Another element of Trust I am working on is learning to Trust that I can and do hear God clearly. I have intuitions and leadings but then I doubt myself. He is showing me, in some cool ways, that I am on the right track and to Trust in my ability to hear Him more!
What a lovely prayer to uplift and hold me when I am discouraged. It reminded me that He always cares for His daughter.
Thanks Sheila! What a blessing!
This is such a wonderful reminder to me that God is always therefor me when I need Him the most. Thank you for sharing this beautiful prayer on your blog
